    Are the Suns in an obvious position to compete for a title? No.
    Therefore, expect KD to accept or ask for a trade. Bec he doesn't play for teams that aren't already in a win now situation.

    Bob is the only one that needs to be talking. The suns traded away all their depth and future for Durant and Beal. They have zero depth outside of the 3 and looking at the landscape of the NBA that doesn’t work anymore. Suns and lakers are in same boat. Traded the washed up stars and looks ahead.

      That was a big one. There was flashes last season that showed this trio could be trouble but rotations that Vogel had were atrocious. He couldn’t make any in game adjustments, and he didn’t even bother playing players who were a help in the games they did play. Also not having Beal playing point guard full time killed the team. It can work you just gotta mesh the 3 cause rn there’s no chemistry between them.

      As a Suns fan I did not enjoy that season. It was a miserable season to watch. They became DeAndre Ayton. Didn't play with heart. No motivation and played below their talent.
      I honestly enjoyed the 4 win Cardinals way more. That under talented injured team played hard. Those were not easy games for other teams.
